[Q] (REQ) Watchon Type App - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The only thing I miss from my Samsung is the Watchon app. I have loaded it on my G2 but of course the remote doen not work. Even the HTC M8 that I test rode for a week before returning it have a TV app built in like Watchon. Does anyone know of a similar app that will work on the G2 that gives a channel guild and working remote? Thanks for any leads.

I've been looking for something like that also for awhile and still haven't found anything that works like watchon. I'll keep looking until something comes up.

Maybe this.

[q] how to set up watchon in the uk

Guys, just got my s4... went straight to watchon as its new...
I click region and nothing happens??
My Region is uk, it progresses if i click usa by asking my postcode but obviously thats no good for me.
Can you help?
Try closing the app and restarting. I havent had that issue so could just be temperamental. I also hope you don't have Virgin media Tivo as it doesn't work yet.

Working here with both TiVo and V+ without issue. Love the multi room feature
I could not get my Tivo to work with the stock settings,, so i had a play,, think i lucked out, cause i got it to work perfectly with the settings for "telewest" set top box.

[req] Port Touchless Control?

So Touchless Control has been released on the Google Play store, is there a way to port it?

I'm sure it'll find it's way onto other Android devices in the future :good:
Here's a third party app that does the same thing.

Yeah it isn't the same. +1 for porting touchless control but im worried about the negative effect it will have on battery life, the moto x has a dedicated language processing core for a reason.

Its at the bottom. You can try to download it from that crappy ass mega site that doesn't work and won't let you download it. Someone needs to put it on a better link.

Ir blaster

Just wondering what other devices you guys are using your note 3 to control. I didn't even know you could use it for things other than a TV. In the xda YouTube video review of the note 3, the reviewer mentioned he was using his note to control the camera he was using to record.

It can control anything that uses IR to receive signals and messages.
How can you use it for other things? Only options in the watch on app are Tvs and top boxes

What would you like it to do?
Of course, I use it with:
My TV's
My Dish Sets
My Projector
My Nikon
And right now I'm in the works of making my garage door work as well.
PD. I recommend using the smart remote app instead of the watchon one.

Best one I've found so far. Simple and quick.
The Watch On app is the one that came with your phone with a fuscia icon and a tv BUT if your signature is right your phone doesn't have an IR Blaster nor this Samsung app

Just started looking into using the IR and noticed that app you pointed to is on sale this Easter.
I am using this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.control.samsung
It works with my TV, BD player, Settop box(Tata sky)

IR app besides the Lg one

Does anyone know of an IR app that will work other than the LG one ? Im running CM but I would love to have the remote function back. Thank you
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
IR is not just an app. It needs to be supported in the framework first.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk
I'm wondering about this too. Would Unified Remote work since it has IR functions now? I may just buy it and check because it's a great app regardless but if anyone knows of an alternative that does work with CyanogenMod I'd like to hear about it.

Read above, no IR app is going to work on any AOSP ROM at this point.
That's unfortunate. Back to stock I go then.

Doesn't the HTC One Google play edition have an IR remote app? (that is a question. I don't know)
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The HTC One Google Play edition does have an IR blaster app, but as stated previously no app can fix this - it is something that needs to be added into CM first.

Wanted: weather app that comes in cyanogen...

I dont want to root my device. But want the weather app that is used in the Cyanogen ROM. Where can I find this?
Before you get burned, this is the wrong place for questions about apps. Use Chronus in the play store.
